OK. Surely you still have to break the shell in order to scoop out the
contents, right? So which end do you break the shell from - rounded end
or sharp end?

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the controversy that raged in lilliput
over this issue:

The novel further describes an intra-Lilliputian quarrel which involved a
quarrel over the practice of breaking eggs. Formerly, in Lilliput, all eggs
were broken on the larger end; but a few generations in the past, an
Emperor of Lilliput had decreed that all eggs be broken on the smaller end.
The differences between Big-Endians (those who broke their eggs at the
larger end) and Little-Endians had given rise to "six rebellions... wherein
one Emperor lost his life, and another his crown".

No fences? You don't even have a front yard.

Butter generally doesn't have any additives. At least not in Australia!
Oh, they still pasteurise/homogenise and do all the other stuff to
destroy the taste and nutritional content, of course.

But its a no-brainier IMO - Butter is infinitely healthier than margarine.

You rely on outdated/misleading information.

Could you please detail "other stuff"? And when you speak of
"pasteurise/homogenise", are you speaking of the milk that the butter is
made out of, or the actual butter? It doesn't make sense to homogenize
the milk, since most butter is made just from the cream, and
homogenization is designed to keep the cream from separating. Some
butter is made from pasteurized milk, some isn't. Here in the US, most
is made from pasteurized milk.

Too funny. FWIW, I still like Dr. Seuss, and not to forget Alice in
Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Political satire masquerading
as children's 'fairy tales'...
